Hi Bob,

A few years ago, I took an "Introduction to Homebuilding" course = taught by Charlie Becker from EAA. He claimed that there had nev= er been a successful lawsuit against a homebuilder, which is reassuring, bu= t I understand that's not a guarantee that you or I won't be the first one.=

He wasn't very enthusiastic about contractual attempts to limit the&nb= sp;homebuilder's liability (liability waivers), but I think EAA has a sampl= e waiver on their website. I'd suggest giving Charlie a call&nbs= p;at EAA and discussing it with him.
